Latest From the Galley


Hi Everyone, thank you for all your comments on my last post, I am sorry I didn't reply to everyone.  I have had the flu.  They say if you can get out of bed with the flu, you actually have a cold, well having spent six days in bed unable to move, I definitely had the flu.  Safe to say I never want that again. Then it developed further into a chest infection (hacking cough) and then laryngitis with no voice for five days (Pete said that was wonderful!).  I'm back on my feet now though, just in time for the Easter holidays :)

The galley is coming along nicely, just a bit more painting and then the floor to be laid.  I am sooooo fed up with dust everywhere, it has gone through the entire boat.  But I am not complaining.  When I have a good clean up, it will also give me the chance to have a good sort out.  I think I will probably do a carboot sale to get rid of some stuff and earn some money to buy more stuff!


I am loving the colour of the paint that we found in the engine room, in fact I probably would have chosen the same colour if I'd gone out and bought the paint.  And I really love the black tiles, I do have such a clever husband.  I can't show you the other end of the galley right now as it is covered in dust sheets and besides the top of the cooker is so dirty it is a disgrace!  I will do a grand reveal next week, hopefully.

It's been a while since I showed you a picture of Scarlett.  She is growing up so quickly and is a right little chatterbox now.  She is at playschool and loving every minute of it.  I love this age when they are so inquisitive and just soak up everything, but not too old to enjoy a good cuddle with her old Nan!  Be back soon, take care xxx

  1. What big eyes! Quite right about the difference between flu and a cold. Only had flu once, I was off work nearly six weeks! Glad you are feeling better but don't overdo things.

  4. Oh Fran, I'm so sorry you have been so ill. How miserable for you! But you are right! Your kitchen looks fantastic and I love that paint too. Really beautiful. It's a lovely sort of fifties colour! Get well before you clean up anyway. Big hugs xxx

  5. I presume that a regular autumnal top up of Echinacea is not on your personal shopping list Fran ?

  6. We both had the flu when the children were under 4 and it was awful, so I can understand how bad you must have been feeling. The gallery looks amazing, you will forget all the dust soon and enjoy your new kitchen instead. Scarlett looks so grown up too especially with the curlers! Sarah x

  7. I'm sorry to hear about your flu, Fran. It is really horrible. I had it several years ago and couldn't move from bed either. I didn't even feel like reading. I hope you feel lots better now.
    Lovely photos of Scarlett x

  9. Hope you're fully recovered Fran? The photos are great & that paint colour is beautiful. I love that green/grey/blue would wear that colour head to toe if I could :)
